Let's assume the number of pounds of almonds in the mixture is x.
According to the given information, the cost per pound of Celine almonds is $7.
So, the total cost of Celine almonds in the mixture is 7x dollars.
The cost per pound of almonds in Salinas is $5.50.
Thus, the total cost of almond nuts in Salinas in the mixture is 5.5(20 - x) dollars. (Note that we subtract x from 20 to represent the remaining pounds of almonds in Salinas in the mixture)
The net cost of the mixture is given as $5.95 per pound.
Therefore, the total cost of the mixture is 5.95 * 20 dollars.
According to the problem, the cost of the mixture needs to be consistent with the ingredients. Thus, we can set up the following equation:
7x + 5.5(20 - x) = 5.95 * 20
Now, we can solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the number of pounds of almonds needed in the mixture.
